They fled toward the exit of the cave in horror, ignoring the so-called important Incan cultural research materials — even though Professor Doroin was yelling.
However, the terrifying thing about the Black Unicorn Python was that it was not only large enough to swallow a living person in one bite, but it could also crawl rapidly as its muscles contracted.
In the blink of an eye, the Black Unicorn Python was one step ahead of the fleeing archeological team members. It appeared in front of the cave entrance and coiled its body around, staring at the archeological team members with cold eyes.
The archeological team members, who were in charge of fighting, had no choice but to resist. They had seen what happened to their leader, Sang Ta, so no one wanted to be the next one to die in the mouth of the Black Unicorn Python.
Da da, da da —!!!
Pistols, machine guns — these were all provided by the sponsor. At this time, they were madly shooting at the Black Unicorn Python.
In the cave, the flashes of guns and cannons flashed.
"This monster!!"
In the darkness, exclamations were heard, followed by screams — another archeological team member was targeted by the Black Unicorn Python.
His body was wrapped around by the Black Unicorn Python's huge body, and in the midst of his painful screams, the sound of his bones breaking could be heard!
However, the Black Unicorn Python's skin seemed to be made of alloy, and the bullets only made tinkling sounds when they hit its body. Even if a few black scales fell off, it did not seem to hurt the Black Unicorn Python at all.
One by one, the archeological team members became the Black Unicorn Python's meal in fear — this seemed to be a punishment for all the intruders.
Trembling and shivering, they were trapped on a small piece of ground, and the Black Unicorn Python's body had circled them — completely encircling the archeological team members.
"Are we going to die … die here." One of the archeological team members couldn't bear the fear and knelt on the ground, crying.
This was one of the few females in the archeological team, and she was also Professor Doroin's student … She sobbed softly.
At this time, Song was still hiding behind the rock, observing the Black Unicorn Python's every move, and he had no intention of helping.
He was not cold-blooded, but he had a set of moral standards in his heart. Originally, in the village he grew up in, the idea of eliminating the weak and keeping the strong was instilled.
Among the archeological team, some were fugitives, and some had ulterior motives. Even Professor Doroin had secretly embezzled his student's research results, and in the end, caused his student to commit suicide. Even Sonta, this guy, had a habit of abusing children.
Selecting these people was more of a hobby, a kind of alternative trial — the first expedition a few months ago was also done in the same way.
Song had never thought of himself as a guardian of morality. He was just doing it on a whim. He did not feel guilty about killing people. He did not feel guilty about setting up a greedy archeological team with all kinds of motives.
He knew what he needed and what he should do to get what he needed. He did not plan to regret anything, even if the archeological team in front of him was kind.
Rabbits were kind-hearted, but they would eventually die in the mouth of a tiger.
At this moment, the black single-horned python's eyes suddenly emitted a red light, like two resplendent gems. Under the illumination of the red light, the members of the archeological team fell to the ground one after another.
At this time, the python used its tail to roll everyone up — last time, it also rolled everyone up like this.
At this time, Song's heart beat fast because he keenly felt something — by following the black single-horned python like this, he would be able to obtain some secrets.
The strange whisper in his mind became even more frequent, as if it was urging him to hurry up.
A hint of excitement flashed in Song's eyes. He enjoyed this feeling of fear and trepidation — it was really too good. He could clearly feel the value of living more clearly than at any other time.
He was like a moth attracted to a flame … instinctively chasing after excitement.
The black single-horned python did not seem to notice that someone was following it. It just kept moving forward, and finally, its body began to drill into a dark hole.
Song paced back and forth in front of the hole for a while, quietly listening — at this time, the whisper became clearer and clearer.
It no longer sounded in his mind, but as if it came from the depths of the hole. Song's forehead could not help but drip with cold sweat, but his expression was so excited.
He clutched his chest and took a deep breath. Then, he closed his eyes and stepped into the hole – he instantly felt his body sliding downwards at a rapid speed!
This long hole was very smooth. The giant python probably often went in and out of this hole, as its hard scales had long polished the rock smooth.
Song Zai silently counted in his heart. After counting to about a hundred, his body was thrown out from somewhere. Suddenly, an even more serious feeling of falling came over him. He hurriedly opened his eyes, only to see a flash of brilliance.
The place where this hole led to was actually an underground natural pool.
This pool was filled with a kind of algae that emitted a faint light, which illuminated the entire underground cavern with a faint blue light. In the center of this pool, there was a temple-like building.
This was … a trapezoidal pyramid!
Plop! Splash!
At this time, Song's body was thrown into the pool, causing a burst of water. He quickly swam toward the pyramid in the center of the pool and climbed to the edge of the pyramid's platform.
Song's eyes revealed a hint of joy. Nothing could make a person happier than discovering a treasured land after experiencing excitement and danger — for him!
Song whistled, wringing the water stains on his body, and walked toward the entrance of the pyramid — but at this moment, he suddenly froze in front of the pyramid's entrance.
When he looked up, he saw a pair of cold eyes staring at him — it was from the black single-horned python!
This giant python was actually coiled around the pyramid's exterior, and the huge python's head was now in front of Song's eyes.
Song took a deep breath, moved his heels back slightly, and at the same time, his throat trembled.
However, this giant python did not seem to have any intention of opening its huge mouth to swallow Song. It just looked at him quietly, motionless — in the end, something that Song would never forget happened.
This terrifying black single-horned python was gradually petrified.
That's right, it coiled around the pyramid's exterior and completely turned into a huge stone — it constantly raised its head, looking forward like a guard.
Song suddenly understood. This black single-horned python was most likely the guardian of this pyramid — but it did not attack him. Instead, it chose to turn into a stone statue.
"Does it want me to go in?" Song calmed himself down.
At this moment, the whisper in his heart could no longer be called a whisper … it was more like a call!
But … what about the members of the archaeological team who were captured by the giant python? Had they all been swallowed in such a short period of time?
However, Song's doubts were soon solved — because he quickly found out where the members of the archaeological team were.
They were actually inside this trapezoidal pyramid. Not only that, Song also saw a naked man inside the pyramid!
This big man was moving the members of the archaeological team into a square pit. In front of this big pit, there was a huge golden statue!
The statue was inlaid with a large amount of gemstones and jadeite, and its body was made of gold. The moment Song saw this golden statue, he felt absent-minded.
After the burly man placed the last member of the archeological team into the square pit, he knelt on the ground and almost kissed the ground. He looked extremely humble.
Next, the big man made a series of complicated movements, as if it was some kind of ritual — this big man was obviously worshipping the golden statue in front of him.
At this time, Song had already taken out his pistol and pointed it at the man's back from afar. Then, he started to move around the man … He gradually saw the man's side profile.
It was a face full of black tattoos. At this time, the naked big man slowly turned his neck, looking at Song … Song saw the pair of cold eyes on this big man's face.
In an instant, Song felt like he saw a giant python staring at him … It was as if the black single-horned python had appeared in front of him.
"Inti," the big man's lips moved slightly.
Song frowned and asked tentatively, "Inti … Inti?"
The big man didn't say anything, but his eyes moved, looking at the golden statue in front of the huge pit and uttered the same syllable again, "Inti."
"It, is Inti?" Song couldn't help but point at the golden statue.
At this time, the big man nodded slowly … Song thought to himself, This big man doesn't seem to have any intention to attack me, but why did he throw the members of the archaeological team into this pit?
Were the people from the previous expedition also thrown into this pit in the end? Song tried to find some clues from this pit. These people didn't seem to be dead, they were just unconscious.
But at this moment, the big man pointed at Song and then at the golden statue.
Song was startled and subconsciously asked, "You … want me to walk in front of it?"
The big man nodded at this time.
Song hesitated for a while, but in the end, he remained vigilant, staring at the big man's every move, and then slowly moved to the front of the golden statue.
"It's nothing." Song came to the front of the statue and quickly raised his head to take a few glances. Apart from the preciousness of this golden statue, there was nothing special about it — there was no danger here.
Song had a keen intuition since he was young, especially when it came to danger — he would always do something on a whim, but because of that, he had escaped fatal danger several times.
However, the big man just stared at Song silently, not saying anything. He even closed his eyes, as if he had turned into a statue.
Song frowned, then his heart was moved, recalling the big man's previous actions.
He had a good memory … he recalled the complicated hand gestures that the big man had made when he was kneeling. Then, according to the sequence, he slowly repeated them in front of the golden statue.
However, after this set of hand gestures, there was still no change. This made Song even more confused.
At this moment!
The eyes of the golden statue opened abruptly — yes, the eyeballs opened instantly. Song saw two pitch-black vortexes, which made him instinctively feel great danger. He even felt a chill run down his spine!
Song subconsciously took a step back, but at this moment, he felt a sharp pain spread through his entire body!
Song lowered his head to look at his chest — his chest had been pierced through from behind by a palm. Blood instantly dyed his chest red!
Song was unable to breathe, he saw his own death in that instant.
He couldn't hear anything, only a buzzing sound in his head. His vision gradually faded away, and his body was lifted up by the hand that had pierced through his chest from behind.
He moved even closer to the golden statue.
At this moment, something suddenly protruded from the chest of the golden statue – it was a small badge embedded on the chest of the statue.
Countless whispers rang out in Song's mind. In addition to the pain he was feeling physically, he was also enduring the pain of his spirit being compressed.
"Inti —!!!"
Song Ran abruptly opened his eyes and screamed out the word in agony!
…
…
Inti！
Every time, such a call would ring out in his mind … Song Haoran opened his eyes. There was still a huge wound on his chest – it was the result of the claws of the terrifying spider in the treasure room.
Song Haoran had fallen to the ground. He knew that he had died once.
Yes, he had died once, but this was not the only time he had died.
Back then, in the mysterious pyramid near the Golden Lake, he had died once – he was resurrected. After that, he returned to this world from the embrace of the God of Death.
Then, two years ago, he went out to sea. On the Caribbean Sea, his ship was suddenly sunk by pirates. He should have been buried in the sea, but in the end, he was only washed to the shore by the waves and then woke up.
"The Sun God's Badge."
Song Haoran knew that this was the 'Sun God's Badge' … or rather, 'Inti', which gave him the power of resurrection.
However, the source of this power was life! Those were the lives buried within the golden statue! It was unknown what kind of power they possessed, but they had completely tied their lives together with Song Haoran's.
Like the resurrection token, every time he died, the 'life' tied to him would be consumed.
At this moment, Song Haoran felt an extraordinary power surging through his body. It was as though some kind of divine power had been added to his body!
He fell to the ground and reached out with his hand. What he grabbed was an ancient treasure sword that had been hidden in the treasure room. It was the sword that had been tossed to the ground by Song San's grenade!
Song Haoran's speed instantly surpassed his own. Using both hands, he completely inserted the ancient treasure sword into the abdomen of the terrifying spider monster!
At this moment, the body of the terrifying spider monster suddenly swelled … gradually, it reached its limit and instantly exploded. An aura of flames burst out from the exploded spider monster's body.
